Maybe The Abyss is the best looking of the 3, because these look like they're from a videogame:
Edit: Yeah, looking deeper it sounds like there's evidence that The Abyss had a new 4K scan at least, and as a result had better AI results. Whereas Aliens and True Lies were just upscales from their previous 2K scans, so the DNR applied causes much waxier results.

I honestly don't see the point in any 4K remasters. New movies shot in 4K are fantastic and there's a clear difference between them and 1080p versions, but I have yet to see any older movie with a 4K remaster that actually made a difference. I downloaded a 4K remux of Back to The Future and did a comparison to the 1080p version I already had, couldn't tell them apart. It just seems pointless when most 4K TV's already do a great job of upscaling 1080p content
